Andrew, we have only discarded hardbound volumes when we have discarded a
complete title run, usually something that no longer supports the
curriculum.  We have occasionally gotten hardbound volumes on duplicate
exchange which are either in better shape or more complete than some of our
existing volumes, at which point we discard the incomplete copy.
